The Handbook and Analysis of Ancient Ritual Signs Project

Charakteres and the Budapest Magical Gem Database

I had a fantastic week at Budapest and Pécs and we successfully developed a GUI (graphical user interface) and the CMS (content management system) for the additional module of the Campbell-Bonner-Magical-Gem-Project Database: The Charakteres. Yes, they will get their own GUI which will provide the user with a number of complex and detailed search options. This is a great chance offered by Dr. Árpád Nagy, the director of this project, who supports my Charakteres studies a lot with this opportunity.

A great thank you to Kati Bélyácz, without her it wouldn´t have been possible to get this much done within only a few days. Exchanging thoughts and ideas with her was very inspiring and in the end lead to the results we were able to send to the programmer of the database. Warm thanks also for the great hospitality and tours through Pécs. This is one of the most beautiful cities I´ve ever seen and so work actually was quite a bit like holidays due to Kati´s great planning.

It was also a good chance to think about a potential Charakteres Database Project, and – as a side-effect – a GUI for this database-in-construction was developed, too.
